Why study Global Business Communication in a Modern Foreign Language?

The Global Business Communication course is designed to provide a vocational qualification to enable learners to develop skills to work more effectively in today’s global economy. It is based upon key findings from the Born Global research carried out by the British Academy, which indicates that language competence should be seen as a major enabling skill for the future and delivered within the context of broader employability skills. This new qualification aims to practically address employer concerns indicating a general dissatisfaction with language skills, international awareness and business and customer awareness joining the workforce; while creating independent learners, who will develop a range of skills associated with language learning.
